Is anyone else thoroughly offended by the post on the front page of a stripper on a pole? I just don't know what this world is coming to anymore that I can't view crackberry.com without having to immediately wash my eyeballs with vinegar. How am I supposed to explain this to someone if they happen to see me browsing this? Shame on crackberry.

I don't think that's a stripper....
...I've seen plenty of them before in action and I can assure you that's not it.
...Simply an "in-shape" woman working out on a vertical bar.

You're right however about the world 'rotting'...
...The wheels are certainly coming off the wagon.

[susu222]

What ?!! What?! You can easily scroll down fast if it offends you that much ...sigh ..

[BergerKing]

Nope, because it is obvious the woman is exercising, not stripping. This is a recognized form of aerobic exercises and classes can be found many places. It's even been on the evening news before as a fitness trend.

That is not a stripper on a pole :/ its a workout for vertical bars.. So no I am not offended by, actually in AWE that she has such strength.

murder and rape is on the evening news also, i guess crackberry should just start posting images of that eh?

I dont see many women doing cardio in business suits. Or dresses, for that matter.

Whole different ball game, I've rarely seen those as an activity to stay fit.

[LatinoLoco24]

This analogy doesn't even make sense in this case. Not one bit. I'm actually baffled you would even type this and click "Post".

I'm talking about the rape and murder comment from op.

Ahhh, that's how people generally dress when they "work out"....
...Unless they are subjected to Sharia law or one of it's forms.

Look, you get no argument from me that society as we know it is rotting right before our eyes.....
...However this pic is reflecting what the article is claiming.
...Simple fitness, nothing more.

The last time I was in Las Vegas for a business meeting my wife and I walked through the Casino on our way to eat....
...And on top of one of the tables was a totally naked woman.
...She had obviously already "stripped".
...My point: THAT was a stripper.

Here's the thing...I can't. This site is frequented by people of different races, creeds, religions, ages, and sensibilities. I've been on this site for quite a few years and seen a lot of edgy stuff and really appreciate it but this is over the top and I want the site admins to take it down and apologize. I've watched this site grow over the years to a one-stop fountain of knowledge about all things BlackBerry. It's also a place where, with few exceptions, people are respectful of one anothers' opinions even when they disagree.

Part of having certain standards is making a stand. You see, it's part of the word itself, isn't it? This site has to reach for a higher standard than it did in its early days because its reaching a larger audience than it did back in the day.

So, It offends me, yes. Does it make me a prude? I don't think so. I'm writing this because I care.

Apparently you've never chased someone for three city blocks in an attempt to mug that person. Let me assure you that physically-fit criminals have an easier time of it.

You know the Muslims were right about the Infidels.

[BlackBerry Guy]

It's called pole fitness.

Slow night?

[EauRouge]

People do it for exercise now.

You might be on to a new fetish and the creation of a profitable website dedicated to such clothed debauchery.

Don't worry OP I get the joke

Surely, katiepea is being sarcastic.
